Critères de segmentation de la gestualité co-verbale (Segmentation criteria for the annotation of co-speech gestures) [in French]

________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Segmentation criteria for the annotation of co-speech gestures Gesture has been arousing a growing interest in linguists who are attracted by the multimodality of information structuring, organized into the verbal, vocal and visual modes. Yet, in order for visual information to be taken into account, one has to consider gesture units. What is a gesture? How can the constant flood of movement be subdivided into discrete units? What degree of fineness is necessary in the segmentation of gesture units to put them into relationship with information in other modes? Drawing on the DEGELS corpus provided by the organizers of the workshop, we describe the criteria adopted in our practice for the annotation of co-speech gesture as well as gaze direction. MOTS-CLÉS : Annotation, gestualité, segmentation, unités.
